About Marion County Fair

The Marion County Fair bridges June and July, running from late June through the Fourth of July week. Dating to 1845, it is one of Ohio's oldest and most enduring agricultural fair traditions. It has been a summer institution in north-central Ohio since 1845, with harness racing as a signature attraction.

What to Expect

Livestock shows, 4-H competitions, harness racing, carnival rides, and grandstand entertainment fill the week. The Fourth of July timing makes it a holiday destination for families.

Visitor Tips
